HI Gerard

Yes, this is possible with Text Pattern as mentioned previously.

One thing I would like to point out is that you create this all in the TE
attribute. Therefore, create an attribute (e.g. Unique ID) and then select
"Automatically generate".

In the pattern, you can then enter the TextPattern that you require. Please
note that to create a string, you separate with - and not with +. This is
an example I created:
CURRENT_DATE(yyyy-MM-ww)-"-"-ORG_UNIT_CODE(.........)-"-"-"A"-SEQUENTIAL(###)

The "-" creates the dashes between the various variables, while the -
separates the variables.

The number of dots and hashes in the OU code and Sequential relate to the
number of items shown.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Terence
